Cormar Pimlico Cement: From Popular Stair Runner Choice to Stunning Clapham Bedroom Floor
by Robert Barney on Apr 27, 2025
The Northcote Road in Clapham, London, is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful homes. We recently had the pleasure of contributing to one such home, fitting out two bedrooms with a stylish and durable carpet: Cormar Carpet Company's Pimlico in the contemporary 'Cement' colour.
Interestingly, while ranges like Cormar's Pimlico, known for their quality loop pile construction, are a popular choice for creating smart, hard-wearing stair runners (much like the bespoke stair runners we craft, this project showcased its fantastic potential when used wall-to-wall in bedrooms.
Why Cormar Pimlico Works Beautifully in Bedrooms:
Choosing Pimlico 'Cement' for these Clapham bedrooms was an excellent decision. Here’s why this range translates so well from stairs to larger spaces:
- Durability: The tight loop pile construction is designed to withstand foot traffic, making it practical even for busy bedrooms.
- Texture & Style: The looped texture adds visual interest and a comfortable, high-quality feel underfoot, elevating the room's overall aesthetic.
- Sophisticated Colour: The 'Cement' shade is a versatile, modern neutral that provides a calm and sophisticated backdrop, easy to coordinate with various decor styles. It brings understated elegance to the space.
The Fitting Process on Northcote Road:
Our experienced team ensured a flawless finish in both bedrooms. The process involved:
- Preparation: Ensuring the subfloor was clean, smooth, and ready for installation.
- Underlay & Gripper: Fitting high-quality underlay is key for bedroom comfort and extending the carpet's life. We securely installed this along with gripper rods around the room perimeters.
- Expert Carpet Fitting: The Cormar Pimlico 'Cement' carpet was carefully measured, cut, and then professionally stretch-fitted. This technique ensures the carpet is taut, smooth, and free of wrinkles, guaranteeing a perfect finish wall-to-wall.
- Finishing Touches: Precise trimming around edges and doorways completed the installation, leaving both bedrooms looking sharp and feeling comfortable.
Beyond the Runner: Versatility in Clapham
This Northcote Road project was a great reminder of the versatility of quality carpets like Cormar Pimlico. While it excels on stairs, its inherent durability and stylish texture make it equally suited for bringing comfort and sophistication to bedrooms. The 'Cement' colour looked particularly smart in the bright spaces of this Clapham home.
